the ferrule and prevent them from becoming loosened through the actionof moisture or otherwise. t

My invention will be fully described here inafter and the features ofnovelty will be pointed out in the appendedclaims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 isa face View, with parts in section of my improved brush; Fig. 2 is adetail view of the bristle carrier with the bristles therein beforebeing cemented and trimmed. Fig. 3 is a sectional view thereof on line33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the carrier and bristlesready to be placed in position in the ferrule, and Fig. 5 is a sectionalview of another form of my invention.

In my improved brush the bristles A extend through a carrier B made ofwire fabric or similar foraminated material which car rier is thenfilled with an impervious or waterproof cement O of any suitablecomposition. This cement enters the meshes of the carrier B and alsocompletely surrounds'the ends of the bristles A. This carrier B with thebristles secured thereon as just described is next secured in the usualferrule D which in turn is fastened to the handle E by screws or nailsF. The carrier is prevented from leaving the open end of the ferrule bythe inturned portion D thereof, it being understood that the end of thehandle E abuts against said carrier and prevents it from wabbling. Inother words said carrier is securely held between the inturned portion Dof the ferrule and the end of the handle E.

A brush constructed according to my invention is easy to manufacture andthe bristles are securely held in position and are not liable to beloosened through the action of moisture or other elements.

Instead of making the carrier B in the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4of the drawings, the said carrier might consist simply of a flat pieceof foraminated material 1) into which the ends of the bristles extendand in which they are fastened by cement in the manner shown in Fig. -5.

I claim:

1. A brush comprising a carrier having a foraminated bottom andforaminated side and end walls, bristles which extend through saidcarrier bottom into the space between said carrier Walls, a binder forsecuring said bristles in the carrier, a handle having its one end inengagement with the walls of the carrier and means for securing itthereto.

2. A brush comprising a carrier having a foraminated bottom andforaminated slde and end walls, bristles which extend through saidcarrier bottom into the space between .the carrier walls, a binder forsecuring said bristles in the carrier, a handle, and a ferrule whichsurrounds the side and end walls of the carrier and also engages thebottom thereof.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

HARVEY W. HASCY.
